When the first youngsters arrived in Hanover. New Hampshire. for a summer program that was to be their initiation into ABC, they were told: "You've come here to prove you can make it in the best private secondary schools in the country. We've got your return tickets here, and if you're smart you'll get back on the bus and go home... Here you'll have to demonstrate that you want the opportunity for a better education. We'll expect you to work like you've never worked before." Over a period of ten yearsa time of tremendous social changes and political and personal challenges throughout this countryincreasing numbers of youngsters have joined ABC with their eyes on better education, better life options. And very few of them have used those return tickets. It is their self-motivation and determination, their considerable talents, their abiding sense of personal perspective that this Anniversary Annual Report wishes to celebrate. The structural history of a relatively small program like ABC is quickly told. In the beginning the organization consisted of a shared secretary and a full-time director recruiting and coordinating under the auspices of the Independent Schools Talent Search Program and Dartmouth College. The object was single-purposed: to place economic- ally disadvantaged youngsters in the finest preparatory schools, and thus provide quali- fications and opportunity for their further education at the college level. This unique idea in education was a response to specific national needs. President Kennedy said in a request to colleges in July 1963: "Equal opportunity for education and for employment is a phrase without meaning unless the individual is prepared to take advantage of it. Young people who have been disadvantaged need special programs..... The history of A Better Chance was also interwoven with the changing national mood of the decade 1964-74. In the early Us there was optimism; genuine integration seemed certain at the end of every march. including the historic march on Washington in 1963. High expectations gave way to violent disillusion and frustration. The minority community began seriously to question the staying power of the good will of the major- ity society. The one constant that kept our students. and ABC. from falling prey to the divisive elements of those times was that indisputably valid goal of quality education and th.: need for minority leadership. ABCs initial administrative expenses were underwritten by the Merrill Trust. The Rockefeller Foundation had funded the first summer Project: A Better Chance. And in 1965 the Ford Foundation gave a three-year grant for establishing a development office. With massive financial hacking from the new Office of Economic Opportunity in 1965, the founding vision dramatically expanded. The establishment of our own development office made it possible to broaden the base of support and he assured of financial independence from public funding. Assimilation of new ideas began almost immediately. Could the lessons learned from the independent school experience he translated into the language of a different locale? Could another kind of dormitory living, complete with houseparents and resident tu- tors. be established in a public-school community? Could volunteer support substitute a whole range of community resources for the structure of the independent school set- ting? .1 he answer to these questions was the ABC Public School Program. The translation began to work first in liam.:er. New Hampshire. then in Andover, Massachusetts. By 19"3 AB(' had Public School Programs in 29 communities in nine states. As students explored their new educational and social environments. they discovered their own needs for personal reinforcement from ABC. Thus it seemed logical to divert resources from the intensive and expensive summer program to a more long range stu-

.3 dent support system through which our students would feel a continuing concernfor their total welfare. The newest dimension of ABC is the incorporation of local volunteersinto ABC groups in a few selected urban areas. Youngcivic leaders in Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh. Philadelphia. Washington, and the Twin Cities, feeling an urgent concern about the future of their cities, have affiliated themselves withABC. They see A Better Chance as an effective program with a dual purposeto provide excellent educationfor youngsters who will in turn, as leaders, play a crucial role intheir community's future. By centering recruitment, student services and fundraising on thesespecific cities ABC intensities and unifies its program, providing students with a strongerlocal net work of parental, volunteer, professional and community involvement. Much of ABCs growth through the years has been in response to the changing needs of its students. But the inner strength of the program has been theability of the students themselves to cope with the extraordinary social changes of their times, aswell as the enormous economic and cultural differences they encountered atthe independent schools and public school communities. They wrestled with their ownidentity, with alienation, with isolation. They patiently educated us and the affiliatedschools in more effective ways of facing the problems inherent in such a radically different program.It was trial and error, good intentions paving the way tobetter insights. Along the way ABC students said "It was hard but it was worth it ..." "Education got me where I wanted to go..." "Now I hope to use my skills tochange things..." If there is any single attainment commonly shared by our students it is theconfidence to compete for professional roles in society. With thisselfawareness and the education. al requisites, they can now move into economic and social sectors uniquely able tosolve problems on equal terms of preparedness and mutual respect. The essential history of A Better Chance is told not in terms of concepts. orcities, schools, growth. volunteers, funds, or dedicated professionals. The story of ABC,the success of whatever is past, present or future,is with the 3.9(X) youngsters who have made the program work, proved their desire for the best education, anddemonstrated their capacities through their own considerable achievements.

For the first time in our history. ABC surpassed the two-million-dollar mark in funds raised Between October 1. 1972. and September 30. 1973 (the end of the fundraising I year). the total of 52.531.257.81. received from both public and private sources, repre- sented a 39.5 percent increase over funds raised the previous year. Termination of Model Cities Programs in June 1974, instead of 1975 as originally provided in its legislation. put considerable stress on the Development staff' and re- quired paring the number of new students entering for the 1973.74 academic year to 525. In spite of the Administration's cut-back in support of educational programs and institutions. ABC succeeded in attracting renewed public funding. A total of S1.206.350. came from the public sector this year. a 2.4 percent increase over last year. Funds raised from private donors signified a tremendous endorsement of ABC: S1.324.901.81. an increase of 63.1 percent. The principal source was old donors mak- ing new grants: 45 corporations, twenty foundations and seven individuals gave a total of $1.03172.

D.C., now has a locally incorporated ABC volunteer group. We antici- pate development components in Philadelphia and The Twin Cities will also be opera- tional by the end of 1974. The eventual goal for these organizations is to become self- sustaining, and capable of raising substantial funds on a regular basis. Early results confirm our expectation that such dedicated, informed volunteer associations strengthen the ABC support services and recruiting. as well as providing con- sistent long-term reinforcement to the students' home communities.

BEL:i V P. ili;i1P.131..E

The idea of public school ABC programs is as exciting today fir communities in the United States as it was in 1966 when the first ABC house opened in Hanover. New Hampshire. Communities accept an opportunity to become involved in the search for answers to the continuing social / economic problem that affects the country at every level. The 1972.73 year began with 27 public school programs of which five were operating for their first year. In the fall of 1973 three additional programs openedin Simsbury. Connecticut: Lower Merlon. Pennsylvania: and South Hadley. Massachusetts. Considering the problems facing our staff and the communitiesproblems created mostly by the social climate and difficult economic and political times the country is going throughour record is impressive. But itis disappointing when measured against our own expectations. Fundamental issues that have to be settled with the establishment of each new public school program are town zoning laws and the waiver of tuition. (ABC students live in a residential house and attend the local high school. Individual town laws govern kir Palmer residence of non-related persons and payment of school tuition by non-residents.)

When ABC was very youngand very small, with limited resourceswe relied heavily on the trust parents placed in our educationalgoals. The history of ABC justifies that parental faith. Now with the growth of the program we have an increasedcapacity to involve parents and the home community as well as to meet the personal needs of stu dents. One of the purposes of Student Services is to inform parents about the program as fully as possible and to provide continuing information and contact with ABCstudents. New activities, some of which incorporate what formerly were follow-up services. in- clude: *ABC parent meetings in cities with ABC volunteer associations: *continuing regular visits to ABC's participating schools by a team ofRegional Directors; *regional newsletters linking ABC students in a given geographical area; *organization of an alumni association; *workshops with volunteer and resource people.

University libraries in 21 states, as well as high schools. other public and private institutions. and social scientists around the country have made requests for our major twoand one-halfyear Research Study of A Better Chance, completed in 1972 by George A. Perry. Director of Program Activity. The study has recently been included in the ERIC System of research on the education of the disadvantaged, which makes it available on microfilm to most major libraries in the United States. We have also re- ceied a three-year grant from the Spencer Foundation for continuing research activities.

Orientation A new orientation fOrmat has been worked out based on the success of an earlier pilot program. In the spring students will now spend approximately five days at their pros- pective ABC school. During the summer they will get together for another rive days with other ABC students entering schools in the same geographical area.
